    I was gonna get 2060 super. But It came out when I just bought my 2060.
    I think your CPU and Memory is bottlenecking your PC as you have 2070 super. But your PC is really good. Like I wouldn't upgrade anything as it looks good.
    What's up with all that storage hahaha.

    Waiting for the new Nvidia GPUs to come out and will get one of the high end ones, that's the main bottleneck for me.

    Yeah. With that CPU, Memory and crazy fast m.2. The GPU is def a bottleneck xd. First time seeing someone actually having the i9-9900.
    Is there any special reason why you went for the i9 than an i7 or i5. Intel X is crazy overkill.

    Last pc build I'm doing, so wanted to go all out and have it as future proof as possible.

    I do need to upgrade my CPU really, but that involves a Motherboard upgrade as my CPU is ancient.
    A mobo upgrade means my memory is useless as I'd need to get DDR4 memory.

    All very expensive and will need to be done in one go.

    The storage is just drives ive built up over the years, whenever a get a new PC or upgrade, i leave the old ones in place as theres no need to remove them. Its all backed up to backblaze so if a drive fails, its no big deal.

    I see that. Its a lot of money to change CPU. But what I would recommend for more performance is to overclock as you have a K version. If you have a good CPU cooler then go for it. If you are using something mediocre, then don't.

    It is crazy how Backblaze gives unlimited storage for only 6$ a month. However, I have seen news and etc of data loss in enormous quantities. People losing 12TB of storage is crazy.

    Dont get me wrong, Backblaze isnt my only solution.
    Any critical data that i cant lose is stored on my own colocated server. Backblaze is just for mass storage.

    I've tried overclocking, but ive either completly lost the silicon lottery or my mobo is shite. Either way, even the slightest of overclocks causes a my PC not to be able to boot.

    I'm not looking for any performace increase atm though, I have a 144hz monitor and I still have to Lock my CS:S to 144 fps. I rarely play more intensive games.

    What do you guys think about the budget for a reasonable Gaming build? Only PC parts, not peripherals or monitors etc.
    I think £600-900 is a good place. But preferred is £1000.

    I think you can get a half decent one around £900-£1000.

    It might not hurt to look online like on gumtree or even facebook market place, I got a half decent gaming laptop for my ex cheap on there. But depends if you'd be happy with a secondhand system.

    £1000 is a sweet spot for a really good gaming build but you'll have to drop bullshit like RGB to save money in order to get as much performance as possible for your money's worth. RTX GPU's are garbage so I suggest that you wait till March as there's rumours that Nvidia is releasing information on their new Ampere GPUs and supposedly they will be 70-75% faster than Turing GPUs which is the architecture RTX cards run on.
